Hello guys! It has been a while, I apologize. I have been busy with work and just recently, I decided to start studying for Praxis I. I feel like I need to start getting certified. I have my masters but not my certification, so I think it is the time to start getting that done. I am not going to take the test until December though. Overall I love my job. I do have kids that I want to strangle, but for the most part my kids are pretty good. I am currently looking for a second job so I can start saving money for when I go overseas. I has been a little hard because, I still pay bills and about half of my check goes towards that, and I have other things I need to pay for. I am not going to worry about it, because I will find the second job it is going to take time. I already have a full time job, just need a part- time job for after work. Good news! If you have seen my older pics for my hair when I cut it back in march, you can see it has gotten a lot longer. When straighten my hair

Having Natural Hair

Well I guess I plan to talk about my transition from perm to natural hair. First off I did the transition, I refused to do the big chop! I spent the all of 2011 cutting perm out little by little. When I had finished my basketball season in March 2012 I cut the rest of it out. The problem that I had in the beginning was rocking my natural hair. I spent the beginning of my transition straightening  my hair out. I played ball that whole year so that took a toll on my hair, because of the sweat, and again I kept straightening it out because I did not want my hair frizzy and puffy all the time. I would say that whole year was an experiment year. I say that because I made a lot of mistakes. The biggest would be all the heat I had put to my hair, causing split ends. I used some products that did not help my hair and example BB hair oil, this ended up clogged my pores, and broke my hair off. Through all the trail and error I would say things have been better. I now do wash an go's

Hello! :)

Hey y'all! I am just in a really good mood. I love what I do at school and the kids I work with. I decided to take this year to work and learn before I try to go overseas to teach, and overall it was a good decision. Many of the teachers I worked with have been very nice, and have given me good advice for when I start teaching. Other things that are going on is, I have three different blogs, and I am thinking of just adding them all to this on since, I get more views here than on my others. I finally received my degree in the mail this week!! I am so excited!! ^_^ I still have not done student teaching or taking the PRAXIS, but I do plan to get that done this winter. There has been so much going on, and I have been really busy. I is not a bad thing though, I rather be busy than bored lol. I plan to keep this short so if there is anything you want to know or ask just leave a comment, and I will reply back.  Living Life, Taking Chances  Sabrina Johnson <3

Sad day and new developments

Sorry it has been a while. I wanted to update you guys on last week. Well lets start with the sad news. Monday was my last day at my part time job. I figured out that the new job I have conflicts with the times I go in for my part-time job. I told my supervisor I had to leave, and she was very understanding. I did go in though and said goodbye to my kids. They a couple of they gave me hugs, but I was very sad I had to leave. I worked there for about a month, and was getting to know, and forming relationships with the children, and there parents. I will truly miss working there, but I had to find a full time job, I could not just work a part-time job. On a lighter note, I really enjoy my new job. Everyone is very nice and love the atmosphere. It was a little overwhelming at first, especially with everyone introducing themselves to me. I pretty much have to start all over this week with the names, because I do not remember them all. Well if anyone has anything you want to talk about, wri

Good ending to a crazy week!

Hey guys, I just wanted to write an update to last week. As you read in my last post, I was having a few issues with my co-worker and I had a meeting with my supervisor. Well the good news I have was I had two interviews for Para Educator jobs. I am happy Friday I was finally hired! I am so happy I had a ton of drama go on last week, and this was a great pick me up. I was caught off guard though. I had an interview Thursday, and was on my way to work. Before I even walked in they called and said they were very impressed by my interview, and would love for me to work for them.  I start tomorrow I am super excited. This is just an update I will fill you guys in on any future developments. Living Life, Taking Chances Sabrina Johnson

Update

This is just a follow up on the Grow up one I wrote yesterday. Yesterday we both had a meeting with our supervisor. Turns out he was not calling them at all to talk about why he did not come in for work. During this month he missed about three days all three he told me he was sick. I think he is in trouble for not calling then and tilling the situation. Even after having  the meeting we had yesterday, he did not even bother to show up. I do not know if he is quitting or what. I guess I will have to wait until we have our staff meeting tonight. Overall I feel really guilty  even though I have been told I am doing the right thing, I don't like telling on others. I guess that is my weakness I can bee too nice, that is something I have been trying to work on.  For those who had read the article I did on my natural hair I have a new pic! YES! My hair has grown a bit since I did that post! I am so excited, I have not measured my hair length since then which was two months ago and no

busy, busy, busy

Hmmm..... I thought that things would be a bit simpler when I returned home, but not quite. I had plans to get a part-time job and a full time job to raise money for me to work overseas. I want to raise some money to teach overseas it has been something I wanted to do since I was in college. It has been a little harder than what I planed in my head. I have a part-time job where I work with younger children before and after school, but I have yet to find a full time job. I am not going to complain though, I know I will eventually find that second job. I just have to keep trying. I know life is hard If you give up at every little bump you never get anywhere. Overall I am still on the search for a second job. Other projects I am working on other that is, I and working on learning another language. I have always wanted to learn another language, and since I am not in school anymore I am using this time to keep learning and lean a new language. For those who are in education, you know how

It's been a while

Hey it has been a while, but I am not dead. I have just been really busy. I am just going to get right to the point. I just finished my Masters! I am very excited. Right now I am currently waiting on my grades to be posted, and my diploma  to be sent to my house. As of right now I am looking for a full time job. It has been pretty hard but, I am not the type to give up. I am currently working part-time for communities and schools. I start my first day of work today, and I am soo excited. I guess you can tell considering I work at 6:30a.m. today and I am up at 12:00a.m. writing this blog because I can not sleep. I'M SO EXCITED! I am working with children, and that is something I truly enjoy doing. The only thing that I find weird is I have to move back home. I have not lived at home since I went off to college in fall of 2007 so it's been about five years. The only thing that upsets me being home is, since I have been gone for so long my mom decided to use my room as storage.
